This month, pop superstar Katy Perry shines on the cover of ELLE. In the September issue, the singer opens up about the possibility of a second marriage, living her life with integrity, and where she sees her career going when her “candy queen” days are through.

On relationships and marriage:
“I obviously have a lot to say right now…I’m a woman who likes to be courted – strongly. Never say never, I guess you’d say. I’ll let love take the lead on that.”

On her career:
“I love what I do, and when I don’t love what I do, I’ll make a change…I can’t be the candy queen forever.”

On being a role model:
“I have no regrets…I’m not going to be everything to everyone. I can’t tell a person when it’s time for them to have sex. Or if they should have a cigarette…But I try to live my life with a lot of integrity, and, hopefully, that sends a message.”
